Rockstar Jon Bon Jovi saves woman’s life

He is one of the rock heroes of several generations. Now Jon Bon Jovi, frontman of the cult band Bon Jovi, has also become a hero in real life. During a video shoot in Nashville, he and a team saved a woman's life. This is reported by the Metro Nashville Police Department.

According to reports, the band was filming a video on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge in Nashville. The team noticed the woman who had climbed over the railing of the bridge with apparent suicidal intent. Jon Bon Jovi slowly approaches the woman and talks to her calmly. This can be seen on a surveillance video that the Metro Nashville Police Department posted on YouTube. The video has since been removed, however, as it obviously violates the video portal's guidelines.
